Toggle each recommendation on and off to see its impact on your bill, energy usage, and carbon emissions.
Your bill is estimated to be $168 on the lower end (around September) and $229 on the higher end (around January). In your state of Texas, the price that you pay for your electricity per kWh is 16¢. The cheapest rate can be found in North Dakota, at 11¢ per kWh. The most expensive rate is in Hawaii, at 40¢ per kWh.
In your state of Texas, the energy sources are 13% coal, 6% nuclear, 56% natural gas, 17% wind, and 9% solar. This means 69% of the energy comes from "dirty" sources. This contributes to the carbon footprint from your home’s electricity, which we estimate to be 12,504 lbs CO₂ a year. The average carbon footprint for a home in your state is 15,107 lbs.
Your estimated monthly energy consumption is 1,298 kWh. The average for homes in your zipcode is 1,569 kWh. Several key factors contribute to your consumption. One is the age of your house—yours is 63 years old—since the older it is, the less efficient it tends to be. Size also matters, as bigger houses take longer to heat or cool. Your house is 5,656 square feet. The weather matters too because when temperatures are at their extremes, you use more energy.
Using this data-driven approach, we have created a machine learning model that can estimate electricity usage and carbon footprint for every home in the US. We then use this information to recommend the best options for you, so you can feel good that WattBuy is recommending something truly personalized.
Our electricity estimations are trusted by our partners at The Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, as well as many of the biggest consumer brands in the world.
